"Are you following me?" Camila asked me without adlibs when she noticed I was silently walking behind her in the same direction as hers.

Of course, I denied it and walked past her.

She continued walking, but she eventually stopped and waited for me so she could accuse me of doing so.

Yes, it was no longer a question this time. It was already a sure accusation from her.

Again, I had to deny it and make her look like a fool for jumping to a conclusion. I used my condo unit nearby as an excuse to make it look like I wasn't doing what she was saying and instead taking the same direction because I was heading to my unit.

She was a bit embarrassed when she realized I was right, so she proceeded.

I didn't mind passing by the building. I just took a glance at it but continued following her.

The truth was, I really wanted to confront her about Barbara. I wanted to ask her questions about it, but I didn't know where I should start without her getting more suspicious of what the Gregoris were hi

    "Here's the copy of your photo, Trey." Luis handed me the printed copy of the photo where Camila and I were on it. This was the time that he asked Camila and me for a shoot because he was randomly taking pictures of the happenings during the Science Fair event for documentation and maybe for the next article he would write. I intended to find him to ask if I could have a copy of the photo taken after I had a casual chitchat with Camila while she was on her post on the activities she was assigned to lead. I accepted it and thanked him, "Thanks, Luis." "No problem, man." He nodded, smiled, and then tapped my shoulder. It wasn't so long before he left, and I was alone, still standing there. I looked at the photo of me with Camila. I found my forefinger gently caressing her smiling face on it. Why do I feel like we really actually look good together in one frame? I suddenly remembered when I talked to her earlier, and I asked how her newly adopted fur is doing now. She told me he

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   29- "Forget."

    Madness had me clenching my teeth. Noah! Noah! Why it always had to be him?! I couldn't stand her keep chanting the name of the man she knew would never come back to life!"Noah, I will love only you… Please don't ever leave me…"I continued watching Camila in grim.It was clearer to me now. I didn't mean anything to her, not that I made her forget about him even for a second of her life!I also realized that while she was singing on the stage and looking into my eyes, it was Noah that she was seeing because he looked like me. Those lyrics, those deep words, they weren't any for me. She was thinking about Noah and meant only him when she sang, not me…As I was about to turn my back and leave, I stopped when I started hearing her moaning…I looked at her again and she was sweating in her sleep. She seemed to be crying in pleasure and begging for something more.What the actual f*ck?!Was she having wet dreams about him?!It was as if she was running out of breath and kept on inhaling a

    Two weeks later, I was in the middle of reading a book in the library on a sunny day when a series of images abruptly appeared in my vision. My sixth sense was telling me something…I could see somebody's in danger. One of my family members. This person needs help!Holding my forehead, and closing my eyes tightly, I focused on detecting the whole scenario in Clairvoyance. I was seeing tall trees everywhere, a grassy forest, and three monster creatures versus one defenseless female werewolf trying to fight them to protect herself.It was hard seeing them clearly and recognizing who it was because the images in my head were blurry. But then I didn't stop and I never minded aching my head just to get a gasp of who was in danger and where they were so I could immediately run there to help.Forcing my brain and vision to see everything clearer, I was finally able to see. Abigail!My eyes widened, shocked and alarmed."Abi's in danger!" I uttered to myself in quick notion.After that, I no

    (Camila's POV)I looked at the door when I heard it open.Ms. Evy peeked, the school nurse. She smiled as she saw me, and I smiled too.While I stayed seated on the edge of the bed, she entered. I think I napped for about half an hour. Furthermore, this was my second time sleeping in this room.At least this made me somehow feel better and rested from the whole tiring day of the Science Fair event."You took a nap?" Nurse Evy asked, proceeding to one of the shelves and getting something there."Yeah. Leading Science Fair was quite tiring and draining. Thanks, anyway, for letting me sleep here and for not scolding me."She just chuckled and gently shook her head at that and continued with what she was doing on the shelf.I was preparing to leave when she suddenly remembered something and asked me about it. "Anyway, did you and Tray talk?"I frowned. "Trey and me?" And then I shook my head. "No, we didn't. Why?""Oh! I thought you two talked because I saw him going out on the door from

    When I attended Biology class after that day, I approached Barbara and sat beside her while the professor hadn't arrived yet."Uhm, Barbara, where's Abigail? She isn't around today?" I asked, looking around, searching for the only Gregori that wasn’t showing.She gently shook her head. "She couldn't make it today. Fever."I nodded. Fever… But I knew that wasn't the case. I saw everything that happened yesterday."Why? Do you need something on her?" Barbara asked.Our eyes both flew on Trey sitting in front of us when he glanced at the two of us as if eavesdropping.Oh, before I forget, I need to be always reminded to be cautious because they have strong senses. They can hear and smell almost everything…I looked at Barbara again and shook my head. "Nothing. I just asked because I noticed she wasn't around."After that, I went back to my seat and avoided looking at Trey, even though I knew it was kind of distracting me, feeling that he had his eyes on me most of the time.The second ti

    He wasn't so surprised. He just remained looking into my eyes. "Werewolves…" he repeated what I just said as he nodded. I also did not break eyes with him. He sighed harshly. "Since when did you know about it? And how?" His voice was becoming lower and lower and getting more dangerous. "The day Abi was attacked by demon horses in the bush. I followed you secretly from school to that isolated place. You and Jude fought them. You killed those creatures…" One side of his lips twitched. "So, you saw it. I killed them…" "But it was because they attacked Abigail first, and you just protected your family! You did not kill them for fun or because you only liked so. You had a reason. And… I understood…" He chuckled in sarcasm. "I do not kill for fun? You aren't so sure about that, darling…" "I know you aren't as bad as you are trying to show, Trey!" He looked away and did not respond to that. I continued, "The day after, I had always been following you in secret. I had seen you transf

    Walking together in the corridor, Trey and I held hands. Everyone around us seemed to be looking at us; some even stopped what they were doing to stare. Some were stunned and delighted, some were green with envy, while others smiled and waved at us. "Are they together? OMG! They look so perfect!" "So, it was Camila who won Trey Gregori's heart, huh! What a lucky babe!" "Camila is also great, so Trey's lucky to have her, too!" "Agreed! Wow, I like them both!" "Huhu! The game's over! Trey is now taken!" "I wish I am Camila!" I couldn't help but feel good with those good comments I could hear. But, of course, not everything was pleasant. They were also negative comments from obviously jealous people. "Why, of all girls, it has to be Camila?! I mean, there are other women there that's obviously prettier than her!" "Right! I don't think she's any deserving!" And, of course, upon hearing that, Trey reacted and was about to scold those girls, but then I held his hand tighter and s

    Every moment and every day spent with Trey Gregori was worthwhile…During lunch breaks, I was all the time with the Gregoris, and I got to know more about them, bonded with them, and they were actually fun to be with.Jude and Barbara, as usual, would be the funny jokers in the group, always throwing their different entries that would make us laugh and chuckle.But most of the time, it seemed like Trey, and I had our own world. We talked together like it was just the two of us, and we would talk a lot about anything without getting bored whatsoever.During study and reviewing time, we've always been together in the library, too. If there were things I didn't understand or weren't clear enough in the lessons, I would just ask him, and he would explain them to me until I would finally get them. And likewise, that was what he was doing, too, when there was stuff he found difficult to comprehend. He would ask my opinion. It has always been helping and lifting each other up.I could even s

    SIX MONTHS LATER... "Long live the newlyweds!" "Best wishes!" Everyone cheered and applauded after Trey and I were declared husband and wife. He lifted my veil to kiss me and I responded eagerly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Everybody was happy for the both of us and they wished us a healthier and abundant marriage, most especially the Gregoris—Trey's parents, cousins, and even his brother, Noah. "Congratulations, lovebirds! Remember our deal? You're going to spend the rest of your lives making each other happy every single day, okay?" He reminded us. Both Trey and I nodded sincerely. Above everyone in the celebration hall, the two of us were the happiest ones. Genuinely happy that finally we were able to turn our dreams into reality. He tapped Trey's shoulder and they gave each other a warm brotherly hug. "Thank you so much, Noah. Thank you for understanding and thanks for giving way for our true happiness," I said from the bottom of my heart. And for the last time,

    Noah brought a chair, placed it beside me, and sat on it. He was also looking after his brother."There wasn't any single time that I could remember I had been a good brother or at least treated him in a kind way…" he spoke, breaking the silence between us.I looked at him, and then he continued, "But you know what's ironic? That was despite me obviously despising my own brother, he has always been there for me. He was saving me, protecting me. Even before, since we were young and I wasn't yet aware of his existence, of my real identity, he was already helping me in silence. He always got my back, and though he wasn't getting anything in return, he was always willing to do something for me because he always wanted to see his brother being so well.”I knew it. I have really fallen crazy in love with an absolutely selfless man!"You know what, since then, he's really been there and always ready to save my life from harm or any danger. He never leaves me... Even if his own life would be

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   78- "Without realizing..."

    (Camila's POV)Walking back and forth to the wide ground of the residences of the Gregoris, my heart seemed to uncalm from its fast and hard pounding because I'd been waiting for Trey's troops to come back from the battlefield, where they had to fight to get Barbara after she was abducted.I couldn't take it easy. I could not even calm down. I felt bothered and scared that something might happen, especially to Trey and to Noah. Yes, both of them went there. As the ruler, Trey led the troops, while Noah insisted on coming with them because he also felt responsible for saving his family member.Seconds later, a siren on the whole building created a loud noise, indicating that the troops had already returned, and they were successful in getting Barbara back!The main gate opened and the first voice I heard, aside from the noises of the feet of the troop members running and hurrying, was Abigail's screaming and crying, "Trey is badly wounded! Trey is badly wounded, everybody!"My world sa

    (Camila's POV)Noah and I went home after that long and draining double engagement night."Good night, Noah," I told him and was about to go to my room when he called me in a low, deep voice."Camila…""Hmmn—" I turned around to look at him, but I was surprised when he pulled my hand and brought me very close to his body.He held my waist tightly, and his eyes screamed desperation, hunger, longing, and sadness…"Noah, what are you doing—" I was cut to my words when he claimed my lips."Noah!" I tried pushing him gently on his chest, but when I felt like it was to no avail because he wouldn't let me go, I stopped, and instead, I just responded to his kisses.It was a responsibility of mine, wasn't it? He's my boyfriend, and he's kissing me, therefore, it's my responsibility to return his kisses. I responded to it as I should, as I obliged.He only freed my lips when he stopped, but his face remained very close to mine. He brought our foreheads touched.His breathing was deep, and the l

    (Trey's POV)I could just watch her from afar… She was walking out of the hall and walking away from everybody, from where I stood…"Congratulations on your engagement," one of the seniors in the pack went to the table where my fiancée—Beth—and I were standing.We smiled at him and nodded and thanked him, then we granted his invitation for a toast.He proceeded to talk and have fun with other guests and invitees, and the cycle just went on and on every time anybody would approach to congratulate us and have a toast. We would smile at them, thank them, and toast our drinks."Trey, Beth, you really look great together. We wish nothing but abundance in your upcoming wedding," dad said happily when he went to us.Beside him and clinging to his arm was mom, who was also smiling happily upon nearing to us."Thanks, mom and dad."They both gave me a hug.And that's what Beth did, too. She greeted them, giving respect to elders, as well as her being their future daughter-in-law."I'm really g

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   75- "Beth..."

    I saw Trey from the glass door stopping and taking a look at me for the last time. He saw me and Noah hugging. I could see the hurt in his eyes, and yet he chose to shrug it off and totally went away.I knew that starting with this, I had lost him forever. He walked out of my life…After our hug, Noah cupped my face and almost endlessly thanked me for not leaving him, and for choosing him instead of Trey."I'm sorry, my love. I couldn't help it. I'm so happy and delighted that it's really still me that's in your heart even after all these years!"I simply forced a smile though it was hard to do so because my heart just honestly felt so heavy at the moment.To be frank, I chose him for a reason even though I knew within me who really my heart wanted. But I disregarded the thought. I'm happy that Noah is back and he's alive, and now we'll be able to continue what we thought we had lost several years back. I should just focus on that and give Noah my full attention and love because I alr

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   74- "Hearing him..."

    (Camila's POV)"How have you been, Camila?" Trey asked with a low broken voice when we agreed to meet one day to finally talk about us."I'm doing fine. How have you been, too?" I asked back while not looking at him.It's been a week since the big revelation came, and yet I'm still, even up to this day, affected by what I just have discovered. I guessed everybody still is.He smiled a little and nodded. "I'm alright. I'm glad you asked."I finally looked at him. "What are you going to tell me, Trey? I need all the truth, please."He sighed a bit heavily and nodded his head. "Okay. I'm telling the whole story to you…"He started from the first time he knew he actually had a brother and Noah was sent away from home to grow up and be trained to be independent and strong in all challenges of life, how Trey played being the shadow and guide and protector of the crown son and the supposed Alpha of their clan."During that afternoon when the tragedy happened, I was also there, Camila. I saw

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   73- "Hide from me..."

    After that reckless move I made, I never dared to do it again anymore or do something like that. I backed myself off, especially from their relationship. I could not possibly do anything to ruin them and mess up the plan.I just continued to watch over my brother as per my seemed-to-be lifelong task and assignment to my family. I didn't dare anymore to get close or approach Camila again just like I did that day. And I learned to move on my own. I should respect their relationship given the fact that Noah is my brother and he is about to become the Alpha and ruler of the pack while Camila is to become his Luna and wife.I tried forgetting my feelings for my brother's girlfriend and though it was hard because my own heart seemed to betray me at all time, I still fought it and instilled in my mind that I should really leave them alone because it's obvious that the two of them are the ones meant for each other. I am just a guardian and witness of their love.I also taught myself that I sh

  • Paradise in the Alpha's Arms   72- "I shouldn't have..."

    One time, it was so reckless of me to have found my feet directing to where exactly Camila was sitting.She was at one of the tables inside a restaurant in a mall, and she was waiting for Noah because, basically, they agreed to have a date that day.I also wanted to feel and experience what it would be like if I stood next to her if I ever talked to her, and she would speak to me. I just really wanted to be in my brother's shoes, even for a little while, especially regarding his relationship with his girlfriend.Soon as she saw me at the restaurant door, she called my name… Noah's name, to be exact, because she was waiting for him and she or they—both her and my brother—didn't even know my existence…"Noah!" She waved at me happily and excitedly.My heart jumped. It felt like my world had suddenly stopped, and I could only see the two of us. I wasn't even able to move my feet!She stood up, waved at me, and ran to me. I was taken aback, and my feet turned to jelly as she hugged me.D*
